LAB-284-Harley 2021 Electra Glide Revival? Back to Cable Clutches?
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Have you seen the new Harley 2021 Electra Glide Revival? It's part of Harley's new "Icons Collection". Harley says this collection is, "an extraordinary series of motorcycles inspired by some of our most recognizable and sought-after models. Each Icon in the collection will celebrate H-D's signature colors, designs and parts — along with the latest technology. A limited collection, each model will be individually numbered and only produced once. A new Icon will debut annually, with no more than two bikes released in any given year." SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE We had special guest and long time Patron Member Russell Roberts on a mic for this podcast episode. He happened to be in our area, so of course, we offered up a mic! Lurch and I had a great time catching up with Russell and we talked about some of the awesome things going on with the community in the Private Patron Member Only Facebook Group! On their website, Harley goes on to describe the new 2021 Electra Glide Revival as, "a modern reproduction of the 1969 classic. Loaded with all of the current technology including Reflex™ Defensive Rider Systems*, Boom! Box GTS 6.5 Radio with Apple CarPlay® compatibility and powered by the Milwaukee-Eight® 114 engine, this unmistakable silhouette recreates that moment in time with tri-tone paint and period correct badging." CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! We give our thoughts and opinions about the new Electra Glide Revival and the overall Icons Collection Harley has introduced. We certainly all agree that it's a specialty motorcycle and will only appeal to a small segment of the market. Maybe this collection is a way to revive the rich history of Harley-Davidson and through social media posts, it may catch the eyes of those on the fence about buying a Harley? It may just be a way to get more eyes on their motorcycles. Last, we talk about Harley-Davidson reverting back to the cable clutch system on their 2021 touring models. From 2014 to 2020, Harley had a much better hydraulic clutch system on the touring line-up. This has really stunned many loyal Harley owners as many feel it's a backward step in technology. It feels cheap for Harley to do this and then not reduce the price of the motorcycle. After all, this is supposed to be a premium touring motorcycle? And now with a cable clutch? Really Harley? The Harley hydraulic clutch system was a much better system and caused less hand fatigue. Plus, it was self-adjusting and always had a consistent pull and friction zone, unlike cable clutches. If you actually like some adjustment on the clutch lever itself on hydraulic systems, then there are many aftermarket adjusting levers to choose from. You'll really need to listen to this podcast episode as we break everything down and tell you what you need to know. New Free Video Mentioned: Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!

LAB-283-Shopping for Progressive Motorcycle Riding Jackets & Gear With Guest Brad Johnston
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Recently Patron Member Brad Johnston went through an exploration of progressive motorcycle jackets. Along the road, he realized it wasn't a destination to happiness for him. He realized he was not the only one to head down that road, after all, bikers are all a lot more alike than different. Brad hopes that by hearing his story, he helps bikers realize they are not alone. This is part of his contribution as a biker helping other bikers. Brad actually wrote a detailed article with links to all the gear we talk about in this episode! SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Here is an excerpt from Brad's article: "With my first Harley, I purchased a very progressive 4 season motorcycle jacket. The FXRG Switchback jacket. Zip-off leather panels left it as a mesh jacket and it had zip-out rain and thermal liners. I also ride with a Scorpion flannel with built-in kevlar panels in impact areas and pockets for armor. All filled with D30 CE level 1 armor. Two years ago I picked up a Street and Steel jacket that is textile and a hard finish. It looks just like the black hard-finished fleece jackets that are so popular in the spring and fall here in the northwest. The real difference is that it has pockets for armor and vents under the armpits. It has been a fantastic lightweight jacket. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Recently, the zipper broke on my FXRG jacket. Because of the lifetime warranty on FXRG gear, the zipper is going to get replaced. It got me shopping for a new progressive jacket though. Over the last month, I have done a lot of looking and I have done some soul searching. The conclusions I came to may be relevant to others."

LAB-282-Guest Patron Member Brad Johnston-Biker Talk & More!
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Since creating Law Abiding Biker™ Media about 8 years ago, I have had the opportunity to meet so many awesome bikers within the motorcycle community. This community is so giving and has helped us so much along the way. There are so many unique backgrounds and life stories within the community. I love interviewing bikers and sharing their stories and experiences as I did so in this episode. I had the pleasure of interviewing Patron Member Brad Johnston of Redmond, Oregon. Prior to recording the podcast, we had spent the day in the Law Abiding Biker shop filming a rear Rockford Fosgate speaker install on his 2017 Harley Road Glide Special. That video will eventually release along with other stereo install videos here! SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Brad is another great example of the supportive biker community that surrounds Law Abiding Biker™ Media. He supports us financially as a Patron Member so we can continue to help, educate, entertain, and inspire as many bikes as we can worldwide. There are many benefits to becoming a Patron Member and one of them is being able to attend ride and meetup events, such as Brad has several times. In fact, Brad hosted a Patron Member ride in Oregon in 2020 and I produced a documentary film on that ride titled, Riding Motorcycles in Real America! CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Lurch and I had a great time talking with Brad, who is a retired law enforcement officer. In fact, he rose to be the Chief of the Astoria, Oregon Police Department. After retirement, Brad took on a new career of teaching but he still finds plenty of time to ride his Harley local and long-distance. He is very involved with the Patron community in the Private Facebook Group and we love having him as a member.

LAB-281-Installing Taller Aftermarket Handlebars on an Indian Challenger Project
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com We spent the entire day installing 12" aftermarket handlebars on a 2020 Indian Challenger. The stock handlebars on these bikes are not comfortable for many riders and many just don't like the look of them. In this episode, we break down what you need to know if you're considering this handlebar install project on your Indian motorcycle. We wanted to film the entire install and make another awesome tutorial video for the biker community to save money and not have to take their Indian motorcycle to a dealership to do this. Our Indian Handlebar Install Video will eventually release, so keep checking back. If you have a Harley, then check out one of our awesome Harley Handlebar Install Tutorial Videos! SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Don't forget that you can get all our awesome premium motorcycle tutorial videos here! Or watch one of our 600+ free videos on our YouTube Channel. Don't forget to subscribe while you're there so you're notified when we release new videos! It is worth noting that Indian seems to leave enough wires, brake line, and throttle cable to install up to 14" aftermarket bars without having to extend those. If you go any taller than 14" then you'll need to extend those for sure. When released, our video will even show you that process. As we dug deeper into the Indian, we liked some of the engineering things they do but also like some things Harley does better. We learned so many things during this project that we share with you in this episode. Your Indian motorcycle may throw some diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) when doing this project and that's normal. We'll show you how to clear those codes within the Indian Ride Command infotainment system. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!

LAB-280-Installing New Front Suspension on a Harley Touring
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com We spent the day installing aftermarket front suspension on Oscar's 2013 Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited. Of course, we filmed the entire project and it will eventually release on our YouTube Channel so make sure you're subscribed! In this episode, Oscar and I generally discuss the different options for aftermarket front suspension for Harley-Davidson motorcycles along with why you would want to do this. In Oscar's case, it was because his suspension was becoming very soft, which was affecting his front braking and making for a rough ride, especially when he had his passenger on the back. His front end was really dipping when applying the front brakes. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE You should also change out your front fork fluid at regularly recommended intervals. We discuss how to do this and also filmed it for release on our YouTube channel. Renewing your fork fluid can help with some front suspension issues you may be having. The procedures for this can vary a bit from year to year. This article is just an overview about changing out the front suspension on your Harley and you really need to listen in to this podcast episode as we go over all the fine details of this project. We talk about what we learned during this project, some tips and tricks, and things to avoid. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE!

LAB-279-Switching Back to a Two-Wheel Harley Ultra From a Trike?
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com About a year ago, Big Daddy Kane switched from a two-wheel Harley Ultra Limited to a Harley Tri-Glide trike. He was hoping that the trike would better serve his needs due to a few underlying medical issues. Well, there's only one way to find out, and that's to get a trike and ride the heck out of it. In episode 210 of the podcast, we had a great time discussing trikes and had another Haley Tri-glide rider present, Big Daddy Kane's dad. Take a listen! LAB-210-Why He Switched to a Harley-Davidson Trike & Real Biker Talk-Special Guest Rick Kane Sr. Big Daddy rode the heck out of his Harley trike over the past year. Most recently, he rode it 3200 miles during a 9-day trip to Sturgis 2020, the 80th Anniversary. He was also riding with his passenger during the trip and riding in our larger group of about 12 motorcycles. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Big Daddy started experiencing some issues as a trike obviously handles differently than a two-wheel motorcycle. There is a lot more pressure on your arms and wrists as you are not leaning but turning the bars through corners. You use your arms a lot more and he was experiencing arm fatigue and wrist pain due to a medical issue. He also found it difficult at times to keep up with the group, both while passing cars and during corners. Both are expected on a trike as you can't take corners as quickly and the heavier trike will not get up and go as fast while passing as a two-wheel Harley will. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! There are many other things you should know if you're considering a Harley trike. With that said, Big Daddy switched because of some particular issues he was having, which others may not have. The trike is certainly perfect for many riders out there. Big Daddy is just sharing his personal experiences and journey while trying a trike during this episode, so take a listen. Ultimately, Big Daddy traded in his Harley trike during Sturgis at Black Hills Harley-Davidson and left with a 2020 Harley Ultra Limited and he's loving it! That, along with many other things will be seen in my Sturgis 2020 documentary film when it's released! NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED: Surprise Visit to the Law Abiding Biker Motorcycle Store?

LAB-278-My Harley Pan America Review & Adventure In Sturgis With Lurch!
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Harley-Davidson recently flew me to Sturgis to test ride and review the Pan America, their first adventure motorcycle. It was a very quick 4-day trip, 2 of those days being travel days. Understand, Harley-Davidson paid for the flights, meals, and lodging. However, no contract was mentioned or signed and I was never told what I could or could not say, so I will give you an unbiased real-world biker review as always. It's worth noting that I regularly ride street and adventure, so I was excited to test this new motorcycle. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE I took Lurch along as a production hand as we filmed the entire process and did a full review video on our YouTube Channel. You'll have to listen to this podcast episode and watch our official Harley Pan America review video to get all the details. Lurch and I give you an inside look at the intricate details of this trip and how it came all together. It's a true behind-the-scenes look. If you've ever wondered what it's like to be flown to Sturgis by Harley-Davidson and review a motorcycle then definitely listen to this podcast episode. SEE OUR OFFICIAL HARLEY PAN AMERICA VIDEO HERE! If you've ever ridden past those gravel and dirt roads and wondered where they went then you should consider the Pan America. Whether you are an experienced adventure motorcycle rider or new to riding off-road, I think this would be a great option. A newer off-road adventure rider could use the standard ride modes, instilling confidence & providing a level of safety while learning. Certainly, if a new rider wanted to progress from there they could enter more aggressive ride modes. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! I truly believe Harley-Davidson has changed Sturgis forever. Prior to the Harley Pan America, the Sturgis Rally was mostly comprised of street Harley riders that were glued to riding mostly paved roads. However, there is a massive amount of gravel and dirt roads throughout the Black Hills in South Dakota that are begging to be explored by riders. I think as we move forward you'll see more Harley Pan America adventure riders at Sturgis and that will bring both worlds closer together. And, I think that's a good thing. At the end of the day, we all ride for the same reasons, both on and off-road.......to free our souls, become one with our machines, and just breathe!

LAB-276-Tired of a Sore and Achy Ass When Riding Your Motorcycle? Guest Peter Hemmerich of Butt Buffer
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com I had the pleasure of talking with Peter Hemmerich, owner of Butt Buffer, which is a company that produces high-quality medical-grade motorcycle seat cushions for riders. See my Butt Buffer Overview Video Here Peter first reached out to Law Abiding Biker™ Media in the spring of 2020 and we learned of these unique motorcycle seat cushions. I had Peter send over several models and sizes, so we could check them out. This was great timing as we were headed out to Sturgis 2020, the 80th Anniversary, in a few months. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE We put the Butt Buffer motorcycle seat cushions to the ultimate test, riding 9 days and 3300 miles to Sturgis and back home. They were tested by riders in our group on both touring and non-touring motorcycles. The riders that tested the seat cushions loved them and stated they really made a difference in comfort when laying down the miles during those long days in the saddle. I took it a step further and put a Butt Buffer motorcycle seat cushion on my Kawasaki KLR 650 during off-road adventure riding on multiple occasions and it worked great. The cushions strap down to the seat and have a non-slip surface underneath, which really helped it stay in place when riding more aggressively and when shifting around off-road. After our real-world testing, we knew we had to bring them right to the Official Law Abiding Biker Store and we've been selling the heck out of them ever since. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! You may think that you have the best seat on your motorcycle but I can tell you from experience that your butt will still get sore and achy if you're riding long distances and for multiple days. Additionally, many of us suffer from varying degrees of lower back pain, which can get worse during these long motorcycle road trips. Our findings were that the Butt Buffer definitely helps with both these issues. The Butt Buffer motorcycle seat cushion is unlike those other air and gel seat pads. It won't leak if punctured and won't freeze as gel pads will. It fits all motorcycle seats, installs in seconds, and you can easily clean the cover after removing the pad through a velcro closure. Further, the Butt Buffer is water and oil resistant and the materials used are hypo-allergenic. There are a couple of Butt Buffer motorcycle seat cushions to choose from: (**links to the Law Abiding Biker Store below.

LAB-275-Soundz Bagger Audio Amplifier/Speaker Install on a Harley-Real World Biker Review!
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com We spent a day filming and installing front speakers and amplifier on a 2015 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special and a 2015 Road Glide Special. The components we used are from a company called Soundz Bagger Audio. We had never heard of this company until several years ago when they came out with a device that would allow you to retro-fit your pre-2019 Harley touring model's Boom Box Infotainment System to the new Boom Box GTS Infotainment System, which comes on 2019 and newer touring models. That device from Soundz Bagger Audio is no longer needed, as Harley-Davidson has since made that retro-fit possible at a cheaper cost. (Make sure to listen in to this podcast episode to get even more details than mentioned in this article) We will be releasing a complete Soundz Bagger Audio front speakers and amplifier install video. So, keep checking back on our Premium Tutorial Videos Page Here. We show both a Street Glide and Road Glide install in our video! Note: We have no affiliation with Soundz Bagger Audio. We simply bought their products for real-world testing & review. Components and Ordering: When you visit the Soundz Bagger Audio website, there are many options for you to choose from depending on your audio needs for your Harley-Davidson. Once you select the speakers, amplifier, and other components you want, you submit a form and they call you the next business day. You can't actually purchase online using your card and you place your final order over the phone. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE For our install, we selected the Soundz Iron GT front fairing speakers and the SM4.100 4 channel 861 watt front amplifier. We did not do any rear speaker lid or front lower speakers for this install, but you can certainly add them on if you like. The Soundz Baggers Audio systems come with a pre-wired harness, all wires, and hardware for ease of installation. Interestingly, after we completed our basic order for submission, it was never mentioned nor recommended that we'd need a Techno Research Single License Scan Tool (SC-Alaris) to flash our Harley Boom Box system to their parameters after install. The next day we received a call to verify our online submission. It was at that time we were told we'd need the additional $150 scan tool to flash the Boom Box after install. Additionally, the online price we were given was a bit different than the final price. The final cost was $1100 for the speakers and amplifier, $150 for the scan tool, and $30 for shipping. Of course, all wiring, harnesses, and hardware are part of this package. So, the total price we paid was $1,280 US. The company was professional to deal with. This price is in line with other quality audio component installs we've done here at Law Abiding Biker™ Media, such as J&M, Rockford Fosgate, Harley Boom Audio, and Cycle Sounds. Digital Signal Processor (DSP) It's also worth noting, that with the Soundz Baggers Audio systems, you can add on an additional Digital Signal Processor (DSP), which will allow you to really spend time and dial in exactly how your system sounds based on your personal taste. We did not get this component and it's not required. Receiving the Components: We received the components timely. We were immediately impressed with the quality of what we saw. The speakers had large heavy magnets, dwarfing the stock Harley speaker magnets. The amplifier looked and felt of quality and had additional plates added to it, helping weather seal and protect it. The wire harnesses were neatly organized, heavy-duty, and had all the plugs you'd expect to see in a 2014 and newer Harley. All items were packaged very nicely. The scan tool came in a nice case and had the proper interface cables. Install Process & Lack of Instructions: We began filming and installing the Soundz Bagger Audio system on our Harley. Be aware, there are no install instructions that come with the components. There is a document included that tells you to go to their support tab on their website. Once there, we found many .pdf documents in an unorganized fashion. Some help a bit and others helped in no way at all. You are really on your own with no real support once you get the components delivered. However, with our very detailed install tutorial video, you'll easily get through it. We are excited, as we know our video will help so many bikers worldwide not be frustrated with the lack of instructions. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Luckily, with our experience with installing many Harley audio systems over the years, we were able to get through it. We believe that Soundz Baggers Audio mostly sells their systems at rally's and do the installs themselves, which is why they have not really produced detailed and thorough instructions for those that buy online. We learned that the Soundz Iron GT speaker magnets fit fine inside the stock Street Glide speaker pods. However, with the Road Glide, you must cut a small in the side of the stock speaker pod so it can fit. This is not big deal and we'll show you how to do it in our video. The kit comes with a template, so you can cut the hole in the proper place. We did find that the harness and the way everything hooked up was unique and a bit different compared to some other systems we've installed. All the wires and harnesses can be very confusing, but we show you in detail in our tutorial video on exactly where to plug things in. The amplifier installs a bit differently between the Street Glide and Road Glide models, but we show you both in our tutorial video. Amplifier Settings: The instructions online do show you where to set certain switches and dials on the amp, but we found one setting was wrong for our setup and we reveal that in our video. Flashing the Harley Boom Box Infotainment System: Once the Soundz Bagger Audio system was installed, it was time to flash the Harley Boom Box using the Techno Research Single License Scan Tool (SC-Alaris) that we purchased through Soundz. Again, there are no instructions at all either on the Soundz website or the Techno Research website that will assist you with how to do this. Inside the case of the scan tool is a sticker. It gives a URL to go to on the Techno Research website where you can download the installer application on your PC. Be aware, this is a PC only installer application and they don't support Mac, which is very archaic for the year 2020. After you install the Techno Research software on your PC, there are some very basic listed instructions to follow but they lack in detail. We were able to get through the flash of the Harley Boom Box Infotainment System and we reveal exactly how to do this in our tutorial install video. Within the scan tool is a pre-determined "canned" type flash that will set the Boom Box system to the desired settings for the Soundz system. There are procedures, but essentially, you hook your PC laptop to the scan tool and the scan tool to the diagnostic port on your Harley and run the software. Note: This Techno Research scan tool is licensed for a single-use. Once you connect it to your Harley and run the software it is married to that vehicle identification number (VIN) forever. It will not work on another Harley. Overall Sound: The Soundz Bagger Audio System we installed sounds very clean and is plenty loud. With the flash and suggested amplifier settings, you can turn the Boom Box volume all the way up with little to no distortion. It can be heard just fine when riding at freeway speeds while not having to turn it all the way up. As expected on a system like this, there are mostly mids and highs and not much base. Base gets lost anyways at freeway speeds, so focusing on the mids and highs is what many of these aftermarket Harley stereo system companies do. At full volume, our decibel meter was reading steadily between 100 dB and 110 dB depending on the song playing. This is in line with the Harley Boom Audio, Rockford Fosgate, and J&M systems we've previously installed. Remember, you could certainly dial the sound in even more if you purchase and utilize the digital sound processor (DSP).

LAB-274-The Harley Pan America-Guests Mike Case & Paul James of Harley-Davidson
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com In this podcast episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Paul James, Sr. Manager of Public Relations at Harley-Davidson, and Mike Case, Group Chief Engineer for Vehicle Platforms at Harley-Davidson about the Pan America, Harley's first dive into the adventure motorcycle market. To get up to speed, make sure to watch my video titled, The Real Harley-Davidson Pan America Adventure Touring Motorcycle Release-What You Want to Know! SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE With the adventure segment of the market already well established with bikes like the BMW R 1250 GS Adventure, a direct competitor to the Pan America, a ton of market research and customer feedback was gathered prior to the creation of the Pan America. I learned during our conversation that Harley-Davidson did not go into this project lightly and really did their homework to make sure the Pan America would be a serious competitor in the adventure market, yet with its own unique style and flare. This is a completely new frame and an all new engine, the Revolution Max 1250 liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, V-twin engine, which has double overhead camshafts. The Revolution Max puts out 145 horsepower, 94 ft-lb of torque, and gets around 46 mpg. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! There is a ton of technology baked into the Pan America such as adaptive ride height, rider modes, electronically adjustable suspension modes, a six-axis IMU, adaptive lighting, and a 6.8" touchscreen infotainment system, just to name a few. Paul and Mike break everything down in this podcast episode to include the design process, specifications, and marketing of the Pan America. So, you'll have to listen in to this episode to get all the details. It'll be well worth your time if you're at all interested in this new adventure motorcycle from Harley-Davidson. Guests: Paul James has worked in powersports his entire career, working as a journalist in the snowmobile industry, in marketing at Arctic Cat, Inc. (snowmobile, ATV and PWC) and for the past 23 years at Harley-Davidson. Paul has held a variety of roles at H-D, including Marketing/PR, Events, Product Planning, and Go-to-Market. He is currently Sr. Manager Public Relations and is an avid motorcycle rider and racer. Mike Case is a lifelong motorcyclist and has spent his entire career in automotive and powersports and the last 19 years at Harley-Davidson.

LAB-273-Update on The Gold Star Ride Foundation With Guest Anthony Price
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com In this episode, we catch up with Anthony Price, executive director of the Gold Star Ride Foundation. It was back on September 16, 2019, when I first talked with Anthony Price in Episode 217 of the Law Abiding Biker Podcast. He has been very busy since that interview. You should definitely take a listen to that episode first. The Gold Star Ride Foundation honors our nation's fallen heroes by taking care of their families. And we deliver the goods in person. And we go on bikes. In 2018, Anthony did a single motorcycle ride spanning 18,000 miles, 44 states, 56 days of solid riding, and made contact with more than 60 Gold Star families. Anthony wrote a book after this ride named, Yours, Very Sincerely And Respectfully. Since that 56-day motorcycle ride, Anthony has settled down just a bit. He is still laser-focused on helping Gold Star Families but is not on the road for that long of a span anymore. Although, he still rides his Harley many miles and days to meet with families from all over. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Anthony says they help Gold Star Families in many different ways and it's tailored to their personal situation and needs. This is why Anthony meets in person with the families, to get a real feel of the history and situation. It can be helping a child with college fees or stocking cabinets with groceries. The foundation is just there to help in any way it can. Anthony says the privacy of the families is of the utmost importance and the foundation does not reach out to them. The families must contact the foundation to get things started. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! The mission of the Gold Star Ride Foundations is as follows: "The Gold Star Ride Foundation will actively support, comfort, and provide education benefits to Gold Star Families throughout the United States and will provide these things directly with personal visits via motorcycle; and we will support those other organizations that work to assist in these same activities."

LAB-272-Dealing With Toxic Motorcycle Club Members & How to Avoid Getting Them
How do you deal with a toxic motorcycle club member that is making things difficult within? As a member or leader within the club, how do you deal with this before it ruins a club or more members leave because of it? We talk about this in great depth in this episode and it is based on a voicemail we received asking the question. You can leave us a voicemail from your phone or computer anytime! SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Many will say to just remove the member from the club. But, that will be totally dependent on a club's rules and standard protocols. There are so many different motorcycle clubs and riding groups out there and each of them has its own bylaws to follow. So, it may not be as easy as just removing a member without a popular vote as an example. Of course, communications among the toxic motorcycle club member and anyone involved will be the most important. If it's an issue between two members, then they need to talk to each other directly and try to work things out. For success, this should only be in person and not over email or text messages as things can be misinterpreted without being able to observe in-person body language, voice tone, and voice inflection. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Although a delicate matter, a toxic member's actions within a club may due to outside issues they are facing such as family problems or a sick relative. If that information can be obtained, then the club can consider assisting the member with those issues and agree on a leave of absence until the outside matter is resolved. Discipline by club leaders or a suspension may be an option if it can't be resolved by other means. But, again this will be heavily dependent on the bylaws in place. So, make certain your motorcycle club's bylaws are properly written and have safeguards and options should something like this arise. The best way to deal with a toxic motorcycle club member is to never let them into the club in the first place. This is where the bylaws will become most important. There needs to be in place strict protocols and requirements for vetting prospective members. There should be no fast entry into a club and minimum times for probationary periods, regardless of how likable a person is. Current club members must really spend a lot of time with a prospective member during the evaluation period. Background checks should be done to include, social media checks, criminal background checks, and talking with others that know or work with them. Riding long distances and spending time with prospective members is how you'll learn what they are actually about and if they're a good fit. And if you think the prospective member is ready for full membership into the motorcycle club at some point, then a 100% vote should be required by current members. If there is just one person that's not in agreement then that will just fester and cause issues down the road and you'll be dealing with a toxic member. Don't be one of the many motorcycle clubs that let anyone joins and just sell their patches. That is a recipe for disaster and there are a ton of stories about why that fails. If you truly aren't concerned with numbers and only care about quality, not quantity, then you'll be far less likely to ever have to deal with a toxic member and avoid an array of other issues.

LAB-271-Adventure, Dual Sport, & Dirt Motorcycle Riding in 2021-What's Going On?
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com If you haven't been watching the adventure, dual-sport, enduro, and dirt motorcycle markets here in 2021 you really should. Just be careful, because there are so many new bikes and models coming out it will make your head spin. The manufacturers are putting new models out like never before. Oscar is on a microphone with me in this podcast episode and he just bought a new Kawasaki KLX300 for himself and a Kawasaki KLX 140 for his younger daughter. Oscar's new KLX300 is a dual-sport motorcycle and street legal but ready for some moderate off-road riding. This does not replace his 2017 Kawasaki KLR 650 and is really so he can spend a bit more time on the dirt with his daughter. When Oscar and I head out for a day of adventure riding we'll be taking our KLR 650's for sure. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Oscar said the demand for these sorts of motorcycles is making dealerships less likely to give any deals at the time of purchase. They seem to be selling them before they even have them in stock. This is likely due to Covid as social restrictions have led many to outdoor activities such as riding motorcycles. It seems every company is in a race right now to make the perfect middle-weight dual-sport/adventure motorcycle. However, this could prove impossible, because at the end of the day it's going to be dependent on what kind of riding you want to do. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! It's worth noting that after Kawasaki discontinued the KLR 650 in 2018, they've now released a new 2021 model. We were not impressed and were hoping for something better. Really, they made it fuel injected and gave it some small incremental upgrades. With that said, it's still an affordable and reliable adventure/dual-sport bike. In this podcast episode, we are going to try and make sense of it all for you and what you should know about the markets. We talk about many of the new bikes that have come out.

LAB-270-Biker Talk & Metal Workbench Tops With Guest Terry McDonough | Part 2 of 2
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Since creating Law Abiding Biker™ Media about 8 years ago, I have had the opportunity to meet so many awesome bikers within the motorcycle community. This community is so giving and has helped us so much along the way. There are so many unique backgrounds and life stories within the community. I love interviewing bikers and sharing their stories and experiences as I did so in this episode. I had the pleasure of interviewing Patron Member Terry McDonough of Medford, Oregon. We had such a good time that we split the conversation into a two-part podcast series, so make sure you listen to part 1 and part 2 in order, so it all makes sense. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Terry is another great example of the supportive biker community that surrounds Law Abiding Biker™ Media. He supports us financially as a Patron Member so we can continue to help, educate, entertain, and inspire as many bikes as we can worldwide. There are many benefits to becoming a Patron Member and one of them is being able to attend ride and meetup events, such as Terry did in Sturgis this year. Terry has some unique skills having worked with sheet metal for years. He asked me why I hadn't put sheet metal tops on the workbenches in the Law Abiding Biker Shop. He noticed in the videos on our YouTube channel that we have wood tops. During our conversation, he offered to shape and create sheet metal tops for the workbenches and I was humbled by the offer, to say the least. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! So, this fall Terry came all the way up from Medford, Oregon to Yakima, Washington where the Law Abiding Biker Media Shop and Studio are located. This is a 7 hr drive and he simply measured the workbenches but we got to hang out and talk. Weeks later, I drove to Medford, Oregon to Terry's sheet metalworking shop and filmed the process of him bending and creating the bench tops. I will be releasing a full documentary film on the entire process, so make sure you're subscribed to the YouTube Channel, so you know when it releases. Last, Terry drove back up to the shop with the metal workbench tops and installed them. Wow, they look great! And this was all donated by Terry. I'm am so grateful and humbled by his kindness. Of course, while I had him in the studio, we sat down and did a couple of podcast episodes. Not only is Terry good with sheet metal but he has a ton of experience with motorcycles. And he shares some unique experiences he's had while working in Antarctica. NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED: My Harley-Davidson Heated Grips Broke! What You Should Know! Sponsor-Ciro 3D CLICK HERE!

We had such a good time that we split the conversation into a two-part podcast series, so make sure you listen to part 1 and part 2 in order, so it all makes sense. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Terry is another great example of the supportive biker community that surrounds Law Abiding Biker™ Media. He supports us financially as a Patron Member so we can continue to help, educate, entertain, and inspire as many bikes as we can worldwide. There are many benefits to becoming a Patron Member and one of them is being able to attend ride and meetup events, such as Terry did in Sturgis this year. Terry has some unique skills having worked with sheet metal for years. He asked me why I hadn't put sheet metal tops on the workbenches in the Law Abiding Biker Shop. He noticed in the videos on our YouTube channel that we have wood tops. During our conversation, he offered to shape and create sheet metal tops for the workbenches and I was humbled by the offer, to say the least. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! So, this fall Terry came all the way up from Medford, Oregon to Yakima, Washington where the Law Abiding Biker Media Shop and Studio are located. This is a 7 hr drive and he simply measured the workbenches but we got to hang out and talk. Weeks later, I drove to Medford, Oregon to Terry's sheet metalworking shop and filmed the process of him bending and creating the bench tops. I will be releasing a full documentary film on the entire process, so make sure you're subscribed to the YouTube Channel, so you know when it releases. Last, Terry drove back up to the shop with the metal workbench tops and installed them. Wow, they look great! And this was all donated by Terry. I'm am so grateful and humbled by his kindness. Of course, while I had him in the studio, we sat down and did a couple of podcast episodes. Not only is Terry good with sheet metal but he has a ton of experience with motorcycles. And he shares some unique experiences he's had while working in Antarctica. NEW FREE VIDEO RELEASED: RickRak GoPro Fork Mount For Harley Davidson 2014 to Present Sponsor-Ciro 3D CLICK HERE!

LAB-268-Motorcycles, Music and the Impact They Have on the Biker Culture
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com This article is written by Richard Kane, "Big Daddy Kane" or "BDK", as many of you know him as. Since the very first motorcycle was built, motorcycles have enacted a passion in people. Whether it is the thrill of the ride, the sense of adventure or just the feeling of getting away from the norm from time to time people have enjoyed the two-wheeled wonder. Equally, music does the same for people and I believe music and motorcycles go hand in hand as they say. Please note, these are not my top ten favorite songs to listen to while riding. This is a list I put together based on several factors. The factors include impact, age, and genre. Music, even since the early days of motorcycling has been a part of the culture in my opinion. Concerts at rallies, listening to music while riding, or just stopping by a small bar with a local band playing cover tunes while out on a day ride are common. From the British mod subculture, to American war veterans, to the chopper culture of the 60's and 70's, then the 80's comeback of H-D with a huge tie to southern rock music has always been an influence. My list below is not in any particular order and you may, or may not agree. In our Private Patron Member Only Facebook Group, we often discuss different music topics. Again, showing a very close relation to music and motorcycles. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE To acquire this list I have done many hours of research. As a music fan that has over 150 vinyl records, 200 CD's and thousands of digital downloads I was careful to focus the list on the impact the band, and song has had on motorcycle culture. Some songs are obviously for the older generations, but others will no doubt influence the younger riders. For example in Sturgis this year I witnessed two "clubbers" of different generations ride past me. One, an older man wearing common biker wear such as jeans, boots, and a vest. Blaring from his Ultra was classic southern rock as he pulled into the clubhouse off of Main St. Soon after him came a younger member wearing long shorts and high tops. Booming from his stereo was modern rap/hip hop. It's obvious music tastes have changed among riders. #1-Born to Be Wild by Steppenwolf- This is an easy one and if not included in this list I believe the validity of the list in general is compromised. "Get your motor running" is the first thing that comes to mind with this song. I personally saw Steppenwolf at a rally in 1996 and the men and women in the crowd went nuts. The song is a common anthem and while Steppenwolf as a band is not one of my favorites the impact of the song makes it a must have on this list. #2-Sympathy For the Devil by The Rolling Stones– This classic from the American blues inspired band is a classic. This band has spanned from the 60's where the mods favored rockabilly, early rock and roll, motorcycles and leather jackets to today. The Rolling Stones inspired many British and American kids alike. The song tells a tale of history from the Russian Czar to an American President. A favorite of many motorcycle riders the song is one that allows you to lean back and just cruise. #3-Rambling Man by the Allman Brothers Band– Can you really have a list such as this without these southern rock icons. Greg Allman, often considered one of the top guitarists of all time, passed away too soon. This classic just soothes getting out on the open road to enjoy the adventure waiting ahead. It brings to mind getting on the bike with minimal plans or expectations and letting the day, and ride be in charge. Like many bikers we do not like to stay in one place on our rides. Ramble on riders! #4-Free Bird by Lynard Skynard– Try going to any motorcycle rally without hearing this song! Lynard Skynyrd has become an icon of rallies and I can tell you after seeing them live in Sturgis in 1999 I became a bigger fan. The song inspires you to be free, ride and enjoy the moment. Riders of several age groups can't help to sing along whether it's at a concert, in a bar, or even on their bike. Considered by many the quintessential motorcycle song. #5-Highway Song by Blackfoot– This song just conjures up the thoughts of being on the road, probably alone, and letting the highway lead you to your destination even though you may not know where you're going. The song is long, yes. But, imagine you and hundreds of riders singing along at the same time while you have your arm around your gal. An ode to the highway and the adventures it brings. #6-Wherever I May Roam by Metallica– This classic by Metallica is an ode to touring the road as a band, but is easily applicable to motorcycle riders. For those in their 40's we remember Metallica very well and the lyrics speak to them. Just like Highway Song for those in their 50's and 60's this song is easily their equivalent anthem. When the guitars of Kirk Hammet hit you in the gut you just have to play air guitar as the cruise control takes over the throttle. #7-Girls, Girls, Girls by Motley Crue– This is definitely one of my favorites for this list. Yes, the song is about gentlemen's clubs, but anyone who has seen the video knows it is definitely a motorcycle song. The four bad boys of rock and roll cruising the Sunset Strip riding their Harley-Davidsons is branded in your memory. The add-in sounds of a Harley-Davidson in the song itself is a clue. This song comes on and you twist the acceleration of the throttle whether you want to or not. Motorcycles, beautiful women and cool rockers! #8-Copperhead Road by Steve Earle- A motorcycle favorite. Earle's ode to his fictitious father being a moonshine runner, his going to Vietnam and coming back and being a runner of a different type is a classic. I have met Earleseveral times. He is a kind man who is insanely creative. After prison, his sound changed to more of a folk one, but his passion for music never faded. I never asked Earle if he rides, and even if he doesn't it would not matter. Motorcyclists of all generations love this song. #9-LaGrange by ZZ Top– ZZ Top is notorious for their classic car passion. But that passion definitely carries over to motorcycling as well. This song is such a classic it has been included in many motorcycle inspired compilations. Many artists including one of my favorites, Jamey Johnson have covered this song. It's not necessarily about cars, or motorcycles, but bikers sure love it. #10-My Generation by The Who– Maybe a controversial pick, but the kings of British Mod Culture had to be on the list. I would have loved to have been in Britain during this time. Getting dressed, riding to get your date for the night who for sure was wearing a mini-dress and high boots with enough hairspray to keep her hair from ever getting messed up in the wind. The Who and this song had a lot of influence on the mod riders of the time. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Honorable Mentions: Some songs below could have made the top ten. Here are some of those; Sister Christian by Night Ranger– A biker favorite for sure. The tune goes from a slower pace to a slight and then sudden increase as the drums kick. It just makes you want to let go of the handlebars for a moment and play air drums. An ode to the drummer's sister who was graduating high school has not only become a huge classic, but a biker favorite. Bawitdaba by Kid Rock-Those in their 40's remember this tune well. The combination of R&B, Rock, Metal and Rap all while motocross riders are jumping their bikes over the stage filled with cool rockers and hot women. All while wishing you could be Kid Rock for just one night. When this song comes on while you're riding you can't help but bob your head up and down to the beat. Running With the Devil by Van Halen– Ok, seriously who doesn't have this song in their playlist? This tune will inadvertently make you twist the throttle and increase your chance of a ticket in ten-seconds flat. A favorite of young and old bikers alike. This Life by Curtis Stinger-The theme song of Sons of Anarchy is notorious. It is a great song. In fact all four soundtracks are really good. I love Perry Ferrel's version of Sympathy of The Devil on one of them. At the time this show was huge. Some people may look back now and mock it a bit, but in reality it had pretty good writing, stars that played the part's well and there is no doubt it inspired younger riders to get a motorcycle and ride. The T-bar'd Dyna with the fairing was basically built from this show and really influenced companies and custom makers for years. Hicktown by Jason Aldean– Ok, I admit this is one of my inputs. Lots of country music loving riders out there. This song just hits you in the gut with its rock inspired country undertones. When this song comes on when I am riding I cannot help but think of being on a bike riding out to the Saturday night bonfire to see my friends and hopefully meet a lovely lady who wants a ride. Train, Train by Black Oak Arkansas-This is my last input to this article. A southern rock classic that is common on many southern rock and motorcycle inspired compilations. Bikers love this song and it has a great rhythm to it. Yes, easily a .38 Special song or even If You Want to Go To Heaven by The Ozark Mountain Daredevils could easily be here in it's place. But, we have to end the list at some time. Well that is it. You may agree on most, all, or none of these pics. Again the goal was to pick songs that influence riders of all genres, age groups and styles. I look forward to your input. Most importantly ride safe and often.

LAB-267-Harley Pan America Adventure Touring Motorcycle Release | Our Thoughts and Opinions
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Harley-Davidson released their first adventure touring motorcycle, the Pan America, on February 22, 2021, via a scheduled YouTube video release. The video was a short documentary of sorts highlighting the history of Harley-Davidson. It then moved into the Pan America reveal but lacked overall information on what most riders want to know. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE So, in this podcast episode, we tell you what you actually want to know about the Harley Pan America and how it stands up to the competition in the current adventure-touring market, such as the BMW R 1250 GS Adventure, to name just one competitor. The Pan America has more horsepower, while the GS 1250 has more torque. But, both motorcycles are definitely comparable and have many options and comforts. See my Harley Pan America Overview Video Here There are two models to choose from, the Pan America 1250 and Pan America 1250 special. The special model comes with additional standard equipment and some factory install options that you'll pay for at the time of purchase. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Admittedly, I was a bit concerned that Harley-Davidson would release a sub-standard adventure bike that would be overpriced for the market, especially after we saw the release of the Livewire, their first electric motorcycle. However, I was pleasantly surprised and I can say that the Harley Pan America is definitely a competitor now in the adventure touring market, both in regards to equipment and price. Make sure to listen in to get all the details of the new Pan America and our overall thoughts and opinions.

LAB-266-Motorcycles, Drones, Auto Tracking, & Manual Flight-The Facts!
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com If you've ever been curious about getting and flying a drone to capture cool shots of your motorcycle rides or experiences, this is the episode for you. Many may think you can just buy a drone and that it's really easy. That's not true, as there are so many different drones and each one has its strong points and weak points. After purchase, you'll need to fully educate yourself prior to taking flight. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE I have been flying drones for video productions for 9 years now and I can tell you that the industry and technology have changed rapidly during that time and continues to do so. As soon as the FAA required commercial pilots to be licensed, I obtained my part 107 certificate and have had it ever since. I am also a police drone pilot and trainer. I hope all of this qualifies me to talk about this subject matter. SEE MY POPULAR DRONE REVIEW VIDEO: Auto Tracking Motorcycles With Drones-DJI Mavic vs. Skydio If you think you are going to get a drone and then fly it whenever and wherever you want, please don't. I encourage you to do the proper research just as if you were going to drive a car on the roads for the first time. There are many rules and requirements that are regulated by the FAA. You may or may not have to register your drone with the FAA. And you may need to be properly licensed depending on certain things. I dive in deep, so listen in to this episode for all the details. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! I also explain the differences between the autonomous functions of drones and manual flight. There are so many different drones and each pilot has different needs based on the project. No drone is perfect in every way, so before you buy one you'll want to know your particular needs and research heavily. That's why many of us have multiple drones in our fleet. We use specific drones for a particular projects. If you want to know what it's like and the hard work involved prior to and while shooting one of my cross motorcycle road trip documentaries, you should listen in for sure. It might make you reconsider getting a drone at all. Of course, the drone is only one piece of the camera gear that I use for these projects.

LAB-264-Sea 2 Sea 4 PTSD Motorcycle Ride-Guest Ronald Moore
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com I had the pleasure of talking with Ron Moore Jr. in this episode about his upcoming motorcycle ride and his fight for those veterans and first responders that suffer from PTSD. He served 5 years of active duty in the United States Air Force and then became a paramedic and served his community for 7 years. In 2019 that all came to an end when his PTSD affected his job and home life. Since then, he says he takes it one day at a time, and riding a motorcycle seems to keep his demons at bay. He also wants to let other veterans know that they are not alone in their fight with PTSD. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE So, he decided to organize and create a charity and awareness ride for those suffering from PTSD. Ron will leave Leesburg, Florida on June 20 and arrive in Tacoma, WA on June 26, 2021. This is a 3,050-mile one-way trip and he'll be riding his 2020 Harley-Davidson Low Rider S. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Each day Ron will stop at pre-determined locations and times along his route. This can all be found on the Sea 2 Sea 4 PTSD website or Facebook page. If you'd like to ride any leg of the trip with Ron, you are more than welcome to do so he says. Just meet him at one of the pre-determined locations and times and head out to ride with him. You can break off from the ride any time you wish. You can also just meet him at a location to say a quick hi and to show your support. Ron is partnering with One Team One Fight PTSD, which is a 501c3 non-profit and they are accepting donations on behalf of Ron to help with his motorcycle PTSD charity & awareness ride.

LAB-263-Harley 2021 Model Lineup & More!
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com In this podcast episode, I explain what you need to know about the new 2021 Harley-Davidson model line-up. These were all revealed at Harley's first-ever global virtual launch event held online on January 19, 2021. I put a video out on our YouTube Channel shortly after the event. SEE VIDEO-The Real 2021 Harley Model Event-The Facts & Issues You Need to Know!! There are some issues I discovered, such as the new 2021 Harley touring models are coming with a cable clutch instead of a hydraulic clutch that has been on touring models since 2014. There were some recalls on the hydraulic clutch system over the years but it seemed to have been resolved. We really have no idea why Harley did this because these are supposed to be "premium motorcycles" and cable clutches are yesterday's technology. I think this is going to irritate many customers since other motorcycle companies are using hydraulic clutches. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE And it seems at this time that you can no longer put current model aftermarket electronic fuel injection (EFI) tuners on your Harley. They seemed to have changed the data port, so the current tuners won't plug into the engine control module (ECM). I have no doubt though, that aftermarket EFI tuner companies are already working on a solution for this, so it will just be a matter of time. Until then, you can only use a Harley Screamin' Eagle (SE) EFI tuner but they are terrible and don't do much as far as tuning. Harley can use and sell the SE tuner because it is restricted and therefore EPA compliant. This is also likely the reason Harley had to make this overall data port change, to try and block aftermarket tuners that are not restricted. The new Harley CVO line-up will be the Street Glide, Road Glide, Limited, and Tri-Glide, which all have several paint options. They will be coming with the Milwaukee-Eight 117 ci. V-Twin engine. Harley partnered with Rockford Fosgate and the Street Glide CVO and Road Glide CVO will not come with the Harley Audio by Rockford Fosgate Stage 2 Audio system. The Limited and Tri-Glide will come with the standard Boom Audio Stage 1. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! The Harley "special" series models will be the Street Glide, Road Glide, and Road King. Harley may have been listening to customers because you now have a black or chrome option on the Street Glide Special and Road Glide Special but not on the Road King Special. Many traditional chrome lovers were not happy that the special models only came in a blacked-out option over the past years. These special models will have the Milwaukee-Eight 114 ci. V-Twin engine. Also revealed were the Street Bob 114 and the iconic Fat Boy for 2021 and they both look great. Overall, the bikes and paint options look great on these 2021 Harley models and I'm excited to see them in person at some point. It's also worth noting that on February 22, 2021, Harley released their first adventure touring motorcycle, the Pan America. For more info, see my video and article below.

LAB-262-The Ideal Motor Company in 2021 for a Younger Generation? Guest-Michael Rubinson-28 years old
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com Harley-Davidson has been making a ton of changes to the overall company structure in 2020. I've released several highly viewed videos on our YouTube channel in reference to this subject and I'll list them below along with some related podcast episodes we've done. It seems the temporary CEO, Jochen Zeitz, is trying to realign the company and has even pulled out of some overseas markets. Per Zeitz, the company is going to focus most of its efforts on its current line up of bikes and on its current core customers, while still trying to attract a new generation of riders. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE In this podcast episode, I brought on guest Michael Rubinson, who is a 28-year-old rider and currently rides a Yamaha cruiser. He would really like to buy a Harley but the Motor Company has put up many barriers to entry over the years when it comes to attracting that younger generation of rider. Michael and I discuss many of those barriers and what Harley should do in 2021 to not only serve its current core customers and riders but to try and break down the entry barriers to younger riders.

Michael has some great insight and suggestions for Harley. Related: Harley Changes in 2020 Videos and Podcasts: Video-New Harley CEO Jochen Zeitz Making Emergency Changes! Sales Plummeting!!

LAB-261-Motorcycle Road Racer Mallory Dobbs Interview
Official Website: https://www.lawabidingbiker.com I had the pleasure of speaking with Mallory Dobbs of Olympia, Washington in this episode about motorcycle road racing. Mallory Dobbs is a 26-year-old female motorcycle road racer from Olympia Washington. Since she was 10 years old she's ridden and shown horses all across the United States. After showing horses for nearly 14 years she decided she wanted to adventure into new and different hobbies. Some people describe Mallory as an adrenaline junkie as she raced drag cars with her dad at the age of 16. Mallory purchased her very first motorcycle in the summer of 2016. It wasn't too long after that she found herself attending a track day down in California with a bunch of strangers that welcomed her to the track family. At the end of the summer, she formed a race team with them called Hobbit Racing. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE Mallory started her motorcycle road racing career the very next summer in 2017 on the Washington Road Racing Association Circuit with her 2003 Yamaha R6. She started competing in only the Novice 600 races, but by end of the season, she was competing in Formula Female and Clubman Qualifier as well. She has volunteered with multiple track day organizations including Optimum Performance Rider Training (OPRT) and 2 fast track days. With such a short motorcycle road racing career, Mallory says she's humbled to have such great success. Her 2020 race season far exceeded her expectations. She competed in 600 Supersport, 600 Superbike, Classic Superbike, and Formula 2 with multiple top 10 and top 5 finishes. Ending the season with top 3 in Classic Superbike!
